Bio

Hello! My name is Victoria and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto with a Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Specialist and a Computer Science Major. I am particularly interested in machine learning and its applications in cancer research. In my free time, I enjoy pilates, reading, and listening to music.

Bachelors Degree

Table 1. Record of all undergraduate courses

# show a table with all my courses 
paged_table(courses)

# create a plot from the courses data frame
course_plot <- ggplot(courses, aes(x=Course_Department)) +
  geom_bar(fill="steelblue") +
  theme_minimal() +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=45, hjust=1)) +
  labs(title="Number of Courses Taken by Department",
       x="Department",
       y="Number of Courses")

# display the plot
print(course_plot)

Hobbies

I have a variety of hobbies that I enjoy in my free time! I love playing and watching tennis, watching (not playing) hockey, and going to pilates class. My current favourite hobby is reading before bed since it is such a great way to unwind and relax after a long day.

Take a look at the following graph to see how many hours a week I spend on each of my hobbies!

# plot how much time I spend on each hobby per week (ordered by hours_per_week)
hobby_plot <- ggplot(hobbies, aes(x=reorder(hobby, -hours_per_week), y=hours_per_week)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity", fill="pink") +
  theme_minimal() +
  labs(title="Hours Spent on Hobbies per Week",
       x="Hobby",
       y="Hours per Week")

# display the plot
print(hobby_plot)
**Figure 2. My Hobbies** A list of my hobbies ordered by how many hours I spend on each per week.

Nails!

One of the hobbies I enjoy the most is doing my own nails! I love creating different designs and watching a cozy show or movie while I do them.

Here are some of my most recent favourites!
